ReproducibiliTea – Replication research

During ReproducibiliTea meetings we examine topics related to reproducibility, open science, research quality, and good/bad research practices. ReproducibiliTea started in 2018 at the University of Oxford, and has now spread to 140 institutions in 27 different countries. There currently are ReproducibiliTea journal club meetings organized at 7 different universities in the Netherlands. For more information please check: https://reproducibilitea.org/. The Maastricht University ReproducibiliTea journal club is organized in collaboration with the Open Science Community Maastricht (OSCM), for more information and other events, please check the events page.

Join our next Maastricht ReproducibiliTea (zoom) meeting on Thursday 30th of June from 11.00-12.00!

During ReproducibiliTea meetings we examine topics related to reproducibility, open science, and research quality. For this meeting we will discuss the use of replication research for student projects. Replication research has become increasingly mainstream over the last decade, with many journals now accepting (direct) replications of previous research. Still, students are often required to perform original research for their thesis, specifically excluding replication research. Is this desirable, or can replication research be a rich learning experience for students?

Dr Ewout Meijer will introduce this topic and the discussion. We would like to hear your ideas about this, what is currently done at UM, what and how could it change, and what do you think is needed to ensure the student learning experience.

We will discuss the article ‘Publishing Research With Undergraduate Students via Replication Work: The Collaborative Replications and Education Project’. Which can be found in the following link: https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.00247.
